do you think that I would waste the time writing a disclaimer?

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

*I never thought that I would leave it all behind. My friends, my life, my
family, the sailor scouts. I left it all behind to achieve my dreams, and I
finally got all that I wanted, but it's not all that I dreamed.*

-Early morning
She wakes up
Knock, Knock, Knock
On the door-

"Ms. Aino, you're on in two hours."

-Time for make-up
Perfect smile
It's you they're all
waiting for-

"Ms. Aino, you're on in five minutes."

"But I'm not ready, we can't start until I'm ready." Mina protested.

"Five minutes, Ms. Aino."

-They go...
"Isn't she lovely. This
Hollywood girl?"-

Mina glanced at the pile of letters in front of her. She had taken so long
to even glance at the return addresses. Her friends and family. She picked
up the top letter from Serena. Nine of the letters in the stack were from
her.

"You're on, Ms. Aino."

Mina sighed and put the letter back on top of the pile.

-And they say...
she's so lucky, she's a star
But she cry, cry, cries in her
Lonely heart, thinking
If there's nothing missing
In my life
Then why do these tears come
at night?-

Mina opened the letter and read it.

Dear Mina,
How are you, girlfriend? You haven't written us in the longest time.
We really miss you here. It's not the same without you here. I have seen you
on T.V and in the movies, you look great on the silver screen. I hope that
you are having fun and that you are as good as you look. Luna and Artemis
miss you and say hi. Call us anytime, day or night. Talk to you soon.
Serena

Mina wiped away a tear and looked in the mirror.

-Lost in an image
in a dream
But there's no one there
To wake her up-

"You really should do this, Mina. It could take your carreer to a whole new
level."

"Cut my hair? But it's my trademark."

"I'm telling you, babe, it could take you places."

"If you say so..."

Mina sat in front of the mirror, staring at her reflection. Her hair was to
her chin. She slowly reached her hand up and touched the short, blonde
tresses. Tears filled her eyes and she cried.

"Mina, babe, I told you it would work. You've had five new movie offers in
the last week."

-And the world
is spinning
and she keeps of winning
But tell me:
What happens when it
stops?-

Mina glanced out the window at the starry night. She sighed when she heard a
knock at the door. She opened the door and was instantly swept off her feet
by a tall, dark-haired man.

"Cut!" a voice yelled.

The man gently placed Min back on her feet and left to his trailer. She
sighed and walked over to the refreshment table. After grabbing a bottle of
Avian, she made her way to her dressing room for touch-ups on hair and
make-up.

As her attendents fussed over her, she glanced at a photo. Her family.
Serena, Darien, Amy, Raye, Lita, Amara, Michelle, Rini, Hotaru, Trista,
Luna and Artemis.

"Ms. Aino."

She sighed and walked back out to the set.

-They go...
"Isn't she lovely, this
Hollywood girl?
And they say...
She's so lucky, she's a star
But she cry, cry, cries
In her lonely heart, thinking
If there's nothing missing
In my life, then why
Do these tears come
At night-

Mina sat amoungst he acting peers and awaited the results.

"The award for Best Actress goes to.... Mina Aino, Power of Love."

Mina pasted on a smile and made her way to the stage. She accepted the award
and quietly went to the podium.

"Thank you. It was all of my fans who made this possible. I would also like
to thank my management team and my friends, who encouraged me to go after
my dreams. Serena, Amy, Raye, Lita, Darien. Thank you. I would also like to
thank god and my family, you know who you are." Mina said.

She winked and gave her V for victory sign. She walked off of stage with
tears in her eyes. They were a combonation of tears of joy and tears of
pain.

-Isn't she lucky, this
Hollywood girl?

She is so lucky, but why does
She cry?
If there is nothing missing in
Her life
Why do tears come at night?-

Mina looked in the mirror at her tear-stained face. *What is wrong with me?
Why am I crying? What's missing?*

-She's so lucky, she's a star
But she cry, cry, cries in her
lonely heart, thinking
If there's nothing missing in
My life
Then why do these tears come
At night?-

*I never thought that I would leave it all behind. My fame, my dreams, but
that doesn't matter anymore. I'm going home...*

Mina glanced one last time at the life that she was leaving, then turned
back and walked the tunnel to her plane. Her short blonde hair blowing in
the breeze.
